Earthstar sighed, he'd been in love with Nightfrost for as long as he could remember! Today was the day he had decided he would tell her, the day he'd become leader. They're previous leader, Oceanstar had just passed away and it was time for him to take her place. After he'd visited Moonstone he was too exhausted to do much except to appoint the new deputy, Lioneyes. No longer Earthstep, he had to tell her how he felt! Nervously, he padded over to the beautiful blueish black warrior who was chatting with her good friend, Tigerlily.
"Earthstar! How can I help you?" Nightfrost asked, her eyes glittering curiously. "Ummm, I need to talk to you. Alone if that's alright." the huge patched tom replied. "Alright, talk to you in a bit, Tigerlily." Nightfrost mewed over her shoulder. When they were finally alone inside Earthstar's new den, he started desperately looking for the words to say. Surprisingly, Nightfrost waited patiently, no sign of impatience in her eyes.
"Well, I wanted to ask you if you...like anyone. Because one of the toms was bugging me to ask you..." Earthstar started lamely. The she-cat now looked very curious. "Yes, I have some cat I really love. Which tom was asking?" she asked. "Me. I love you... and wanted to know if you felt the same...." Earthstar blushed, looking at his paws. Nightfrost's eyes widened to the size of the moon. "R-really?" she asked, also blushing. "Because I also love you, Earthstar." Nightfrost whispered.
Earthstar could barely believe his ears. He jumped to his paws and started purring like crazy. Rushing out of the den, he jumped onto the mossy ledge he used for Clan meetings and yowled "She loves me!!!!" at the top of his lungs. Nightfrost padded out of Earthstar's den, her blush getting deeper by the second. Every cat came running into the main clearing. "Who loves you, Earthstar?" Sunheart asked, confused. "Nightfrost of course!" Earthstar replied happily. "Oh, it was kind of obvious with her staring at you all the time! Youngsters these days!" one of the elders laughed. "Our new leader has finally found love! Now all he needs is kits!" Lioneyes purred.
